Should I Be Concerned For The Purple Colored Veins On The Rib Cage Which Are Sore?
I have noticed some small purple looking spider veins on my ribs cage area and then one patch under my left arm that is sore to the touch. It feels like a scratch or abrasion... but nothing is there except the tiny little veins. What could be the cause of this and will it go away? Should I be concerned?
